I haven’t pursued it seriously so I don’t know how much you can hurry things along, but most of the interview processes I’ve seen are weeks long. Google even warns you up front that it’ll probably take on the order of months. So it’s kind of tricky to get them to all line up like that.

It all depends. I have done first phone call -> offer in 2 weeks at FAANG.

Or at the tier below FAANG- I did one afternoon of interviews at Adobe and got an offer a few days later.

It's still valuable info. Like let's say you actually made it thorough all the rounds at Google per your example, and are 'stuck' in hiring committee. That's a huge signal to you that you are in striking distance of the level you interviewed for, even if you don't ultimately make it this time.

That means you can for example use levels.fyi number for that level at Google as 'something that applies to me'
